This week’s Round Up is boldly going where we haven’t gone before to review the newest addition to the Stark Trek canon. Thanks to CBS, we’ll be transporting to Star Trek: Discovery — Season 1, the streaming series that will soon feature a very familiar face. CBS also follows the clues to Elementary: Season 6. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. takes a UHD bite out of shark adventure The Meg (4K), Time Life goes back to school with Saved by the Bell: The Complete Series, and Disney keeps things brief (and emotional) with Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 3.
There’s also magic in the air on the big screen thanks to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, while a group of Widows look to settle some debts. One last reminder before signing off for the week: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

This week’s Round Up can best be summed up with one word: incredible. Disney has released its superpowered smash hit Incredibles 2 on Blu-ray, so keep an eye on the site for our review a little later this week. The Mouse House also returns to the Hundred Acre Wood to re-connect with Christopher Robin. Elsewhere, CBS fights The Good Fight: Season 2 and revisits a pair of TV hits from the past by casting a spell with Charmed: Season 1 and getting resourceful with MacGyver: Season 1. RLJE Films travels Beyond the Sky and pours its Blood, Sweat and Terrors into an action-packed anthology. Finally, Shout! Studios shares a few of its favorite things with a 60th anniversary edition of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music Live to commemorate the Broadway classic.
On the big screen, Fox Searchlight asks Can You Ever Forgive Me, while Universal gets green and mean with Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch. And now it's time for your customary reminder: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

Howdy, Partners. Johnny's working down at the bunkhouse today, so here I am to let you know what might be causing a stampede down at your video store. We're heading into the final hours of our 31 Nights Of Terror and it's been a howling good time here on the Upcomingdiscs ranch. Here's a couple of titles you should look for this week at Upcomingdiscs. Warner Brothers has chosen The Matrix Trilogy for the UHD/4K treatment this week. RLJE Films sends Nicholis Cage to the Devil in Mandy out on Blu-ray. Shout Factory wants just the facts in the feature film version of Jack Webb's Dragnet on Blu-ray with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroid. In theaters this weekend get caught up in the landslide with the Queen/Freddie Mercury Bio-pic Bohemian Rhapsody from 20th Century Fox. If you're feeling like a little Italian, we'll be reviewing the new version of Dario Agento's spaghetti nightmare classic Suspiria from Amazon Studios.
And, Partners, don't forget. If you'll be making that video withdrawal from Amazon, lasso yourself one of our many links to get there. It helps keep us going here on the Upcomingdiscs ranch. Until next week, share some light with someone this week... television light, that is.

You can buy blockbuster films on disc from almost anywhere these days. But if you're looking for classic and vintage stuff, it gets a little bit harder. If you're looking for obscure or foreign horror and science fiction titles, it can get near impossible. I say near impossible because there's a place online that is staffed by the same kind of film fans that we are. They have the largest supply of niche films I've ever encountered, and they've supplied our staff at Upcomingdiscs many times with that special hard-to-get title. I often get emails asking me where to find some unknown title. I always give the same answer. If you can't find it at Diabolik DVD, I don't like your chances finding it anywhere. Help out some folks who are there to help us out. Put them to the test. Tell them Gino sent ya. You can click on the graphic ad to your right, or just bang it here to check out our friends at Diabolik DVD.

We usually reserve our gift guides for the Christmas shopping season but we have a couple of folks we want to bring to your attention during haunting season. The first of these is Mill Creek Entertainment. The folks over at Mill Creek Entertainment specialize in bringing classic television and films back to life for your home theatre. You'll find plenty of classic films and shows on DVD and even Blu-ray. We'll be talking about that closer to Christmas. They also have a few sweet horror titles for you to check out. This is not a paid advertisement.

This week’s Round Up can be summed up in one word: Groovy. Lionsgate takes up arms (and chainsaw) for an epic battle in Ash vs. Evil Dead: The Complete Series, while also seeking retribution in Reprisal. Elsewhere, RLJE faces the dry heat of Arizona (4K), Indican Pictures doesn’t feel much with Painless, and Showtime stays unfaithful with The Affair: Season 4. Finally, Shout! Factory saddles up to revisit the Billy Crystal comedy favorite City Slickers: Collector's Edition.

We are reaching unprecedented heights with this week's Round Up! Thanks to Universal, we'll be scaling the tallest building in the world alongside Dwayne Johnson in Skyscraper (4K). Elsewhere, Warner Bros. counts to The 100: Season 5, and heads west with occult investigator John Constantine in Constantine: City of Demons — The Movie (4K). HBO hits its mark with hitman comedy Barry: Season 1, while Fox prepares for battle with Vikings: Season 5, Volume 1. Fries Entertainment Group gets animated with Starchaser: The Legend of Orin, Monarch stays for a 3rd Night, and Shout! Factory goes back to school for Saved by the Bell: The Complete Series.

It's here! The calendar has officially turned to October, which means it's time to dim the lights, dial up the frights, and celebrate 31 Nights of Terror. We'll be highlighting a different horror-themed offering every day this month, including The Originals: The Fifth and Final Season from Warner Bros. RLJE Films is wide awake for Sleep No More and lives in wedded bliss with The Housewife. (Be sure to check out our interview with Housewife star David Sakurai.) Random Media returns to The Landing to unearth a past trauma, while Paramount steps behind the plate for WWII drama The Catcher Was a Spy. Finally, Fox dials up 911: Season 1.
There's also a pair of big-time, big screen releases we'll be reviewing a little later this week: Bradley Cooper directs (and sings along with) Lady Gaga in A Star is Born, while Tom Hardy suits up for Sony's Venom. And now it's time for your customary reminder: if you’re shopping for anything on Amazon and you do it through one of our links, it’ll help keep the lights on here at UpcomingDiscs. See ya next week!

Do you feel that chill in the air? (Well, if you're anywhere near UpcomingDiscs HQ in Florida, the answer is an emphatic “No”...but just go with me on this.) That spine-tingling feeling signals the impending arrival of Horrorcane season and our annual 31 Nights of Terror throughout October. This week's Round Up offers a sneak peek at 31 Nights thanks to RLJE Films pulling some strings with Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (4K) and Scream Factory's head-spinning Exorcist II: The Heretic. In slightly less spooky news, Lionsgate fends off an alien invasion with Occupation and goes back to school with The Row. Warner Bros. assembles a team of time-traveling heroes with DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 3, while Shout! Factory recounts Rolling Stone Magazine: Stories from the Edge.
Acorn gets in a different sort of holiday spirit with Murdoch Mysteries: Home for the Holidays, CBS/Lionsgate gets resourceful with MacGyver: Season 2, and Time Life hosts an all-star jam session with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: In Concert — Encore. Fox takes on a new case with C.B. Strike: Season 1, tries to find out if the truth is out there with The X-Files: Season 11, and gets re-acquainted with its most famous mutants thanks to The X-Men Trilogy: Evolution (4K). Finally...never tell Disney the odds for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
